15 Reasons NOT to Chain Dogs

Chained dogs are often deprived of adequate care and shelter and left to suffer through extreme heat or freezing winter nights when all they want are scratches behind their ears, walks around the block, and the opportunity to curl up at their guardians’ feet at night—indoors.

Here are 15 reasons NOT to chain dogs:

Sad. My dog loves running around and playing outside….who wouldn’t?! But to live…no way!!!! Being in the heat, cold everyday, all day with a few moments of companionship. That’s not right..heartbreaking.

When i see people just having there dog or any other animal chain i wish they where in there position so they could feel the way they feel. All animals have equal rights like humans do and most of us don’t see that.

I swear people who chain up their dogs like this are seriously the most heartless,meanies,cold and especially cruel, should not have been or are allowed to have pets if they are on going to humiliate and or ABUSE pets whether dog,cat,hamster or any kind of animal male or female. People should really see what people do to these animals that are being chained up, not fed or even given baths. People who do this really DISGUST me .

What the fuck, world? Is it that fucking difficult to let your dog sleep with you, or for you to love, and protect it? Your dog would gladly protect you, but you have to pull this shit? This world makes me sick.

My neighbor used to keep her chiwahwa chained in her back yard because she is an escape artist but they stoped which is good but its bad they still keep her outside and don’t take her indoors very often

I was very happy to share this one. My aunt adopted a pit bull a few years ago. His previous owner had him chained up on a property that they only visited once in a while to toss some food at him. He was so starved and most likely abused in some way as he’s rather scared of women. Now he has a loving home and even plays and watches over my younger cousins. 🙂
